🚀 HUGE CONNECTIONS - HBAR + FEDERAL RESERVE, XRP, QNT & THE BIS - XRP NEWS TODAY

In this YouTube video, Crypto Mason (Mason Versluis) delivers a fast‑paced market roundup and commentary on several cryptocurrency projects and their intersections with traditional finance and regulators. He begins by promoting his channel, a subscriber giveaway, and then reviews recent price action for Bitcoin, XRP, Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), Quant (QNT), DAG and Vector Space, expressing a bullish outlook for Q4 2021. Mason inserts a clip of Elon Musk discussing crypto regulation, highlighting Musk’s view that governments should "do nothing" and his belief that crypto can reduce latency in legacy payment systems. The video then shifts to news items: Ripple’s $250 million creator fund for NFTs, a Mastercard partnership with Ripple’s partner Lululemon, Hedera Hashgraph’s coverage on BBC World News and its collaboration with the U.S. Federal Reserve on a project dubbed “New Dawn,” and the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) multi‑CBDC prototype, which Mason compares to Quant’s Overledger technology. Throughout, Mason frames these developments as evidence that traditional finance will need to integrate with crypto platforms such as Quant, DAG, Vector Space, XRP, and Hedera. He concludes with a strong bullish stance, urging viewers to hold their positions and anticipate a strong Q4 for crypto.

What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to the Crypto Mason YouTube channel. Shout out to the Gold Squad. We look for gold in every single aspect of our lives and we always find it. Now today we have a jam-packed video. Let me, let me explain what we're going through here, okay? Elon Musk is making headlines again for, uh, saying some stuff about cryptocurrency regulation. We're going to cover Mastercard plus Ripple. We're going to cover, um, the Federal Reserve plus Hedera Hashgraph, okay? And we're going to cover, uh, the Bank of International Settlements and a correlation with Quant Network, okay? With Quant Network. Jam-packed video once again. You're going to want to watch to the end. Before we go into it though, make sure that you smash the like button. Let's get to 1,500 likes. I think we can do that. Um, also turn the post notification bell on, subscribe. We are doing a giveaway at 60K subscribers, so everyone who watches this, you should subscribe, get us to 60K, and you can enter in the giveaway. We'll do a giveaway for like probably like $500 in Solana or something because I got a lot of Solana. Okay, here we go. Bitcoin, as you can see, the market's moved back up a little bit. Currently 2.11% up in the last 24 hours, right? Bitcoin got out of the $41,000s. If we look at XRP, we also have this wick right here. This is the 4-hour Binance chart. Wick to just bounced off $1, right? Bounced off $1. And I believe that we might start coming up above $1. As you can see, we, we've been in the $1 range for most of September over here. Um, and there's the China FUD right there. Of course, uh, you should have like— now looking back on this, yeah, this was an absolute buying opportunity. We knew that when it comes— every time China drops some FUD like that, it is a buying opportunity, right? Um, so we have Hedera Hashgraph, 31 cents. Oh my goodness, do we have some good Hedera stuff in this video. Make sure you watch it to the end. Quant also, $2.83. This is a good accumulation point in my opinion. Like, if you think Quant is going to get to $500— if you guys remember that bull flag trend pattern that I was showing you, how it just— it's been doing a bunch of bull flags, right, just stacking on top of each other. And the next bull flag, if it plays out, it would lead us to the $500s, right? That is where we want to be with Quant. DAG, I want to point out something. It's still at the dang price that I bought at. Okay, it's still at the price I bought at. Vector Space, $11, right? Um, so if we look at the market, all green. What am I doing right now? I am doing nothing. Okay, I'm holding like a good honey badger. I'm waiting. I think October is going to be very, very good for crypto. I think November— I think coming up on these last days, man, or these last, uh, this Q4, I think Q4 is gonna get heated. Okay, we have this October 18 date, this October 18 date, um, which could be pretty bad, but we'll see. I think I'm so bullish on crypto that I think, um it will hold up better than any of the other markets. Okay, look who we've got. Look who we got right here. He's making a reappearance and he's not talking about Dogecoin. Okay, of course, because he abandoned y'all. He pumped it and he abandoned it. Okay, this video, I'm gonna play it. It's like about 1 minute and it's gonna talk about regulation. And look what stance Mr. Elon Musk has. It matches up perfectly with what I was what I've been saying. Here we go. It is not possible to, I think, destroy crypto, but it is not possible to destroy crypto. Yup, I've said this a million times. You've got 13,000 coins almost here. That's not possible to stop, okay? You cannot stop it. DeFi is too far gone. And guess what? The government is not stupid. The SEC is not that stupid. No matter how stupid you think they are, they're not actually like dumb, right? They know they've let this get too far and there's a reason for it. There's a reason. Let's keep watching though.
It is possible for governments to slow down its advancement.
Slow down its advancement.
So what should the US government do? We had Gary Gensler on earlier, SEC chairman. He was calling it the Wild West of finance. What should they do? If anything.
So what should the SEC do? She just asked that to Elon.
I would say do nothing.
I would say do nothing. Are you serious?
Okay. They're not saying that.
Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't seriously just let it fly because, well, what do you think governments can do?
I think they can, like you said, they can ruin it.
They can ruin it. I've said directly that, that they can ruin our fun.
I don't think they can just slow down in a bull run. I think they can stop it. I don't think they can control it, and therefore they may want to stop it.
Yeah, I mean, I, I'm— I wouldn't say that I'm some, you know, massive cryptocurrency expert. Um, you know, I think the— there's some value to cryptocurrency. I don't think it's like the SEP the second coming of the Messiah, which—
I don't think it's the second coming of the Messiah. Well, guess what? If we know, if we understand that money is God to a lot of people, this is the second coming of a new God, new money. And it could possibly— and the promise with crypto and the whole stigma around crypto is that it could make you rich.
Um, you know, it's, uh, it will hopefully reduce the error and latency in the money system, the legacy money systems, and reduce the— yeah, I mean, just—
so he's talking about Ripple right there, right? Of course, the chosen one. Reduce the latency and all that in the legacy payment system. So what's going to happen is traditional finance is going to need a way to come over to crypto, right, into blockchain. And the coins that are doing that are Quant, DAG, right, Vector Space, um, XRP, Ripple, Hedera Hashgraph, right? AllianceBlock is one of them that's trying to bring trad— like merge traditional finance. By the way, Quant's, um, Quant's Overledger can just integrate with any, any traditional finance system. They can, right? So that's Elon. He's saying there's more. I'm gonna watch this whole thing because they asked him amazing stuff apparently, like SEC. I see a category right there. Now we know his thoughts. Why did he say do nothing? In my opinion, he said do nothing to further tempt them and further provoke them. All this idiot has been doing— he's an idiot in crypto. Everything else I love him in. He is an idiot in crypto. That's it. This dude has been provoking and, and, and punching the SEC, trying to slap them awake to do something about it, right? That's what he's indirectly doing. He's pumping Dogecoin on his Twitter. The world's richest man. It's on purpose. He's provoking the SEC. He hates the SEC. All I want from you, Elon, is a shout out to Ripple for fighting the SEC. Come on, come on. Okay. Here we go. We have this cool video from Danish, uh, Nazir right here. Hedera Hashgraph, which is on BBC World News. Okay, really cool right here. There's a bunch of clips, right? If you just type in HBAR on Twitter, you'll find a bunch of clips. But they covered Hedera Hashgraph on BBC News, right? Of course they're gonna slowly integrate it. Moving on, Ripple has launched a $250 million creator fund, right, for NFTs. Right here, bring your NFTs to life on the XRP Ledger. $250 million fund for creators, agencies, and marketplaces. This is crazy. So they say the tokenized future, right, the future will be tokenized. Um, yeah. So this is, this is great. Like, this is a huge thing. I hope Ripple just overtakes the NFT market. Look, they got partners here, Mintable, right? Amazing right there. And we, we saw this coming, right? Crunchbase, I was showing you how they are investing in some NFT stuff. We also have MasterCard teaming up with Ripple partner Lulu Lemon.
What?
UAE to enhance remittance. It's not Lululemon, by the way. I'm joking. Um, so they have teamed up, right? Mastercard directly partners— look, they're even shaking hands with Lulu Exchange to enable speedy and secure online remittances. Well, guess what? Ripple is partnered with Lulu Exchange as well. So it is coming. It is coming. Okay. 100%. It is coming. We are proud to announce our partnership with Ripple and the National Bank of Egypt. That's Lulu Exchange saying that. Amazing stuff right there. Um, skip past this because we already watched the clip, but he is making big headlines. This is CNBC. He's making the big headlines, right? Um, and it's a, it's a new headline with regulation, Elon Musk, and government. So that's pretty big. Now, I forgot to cover this a couple days ago, but two top Federal Reserve officials have retired after trading disclosures, right? So basically what happened, there was some unethical stuff found out about them trading during the pandemic, right? Them trading during the pandemic, and they resigned. And the point of why I'm including this is because look where they're from. Look where they're from— the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. It's all about the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Watch this. Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Okay, this is from August 13, 2020. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston announces a collaboration with MIT to research digital currency. Okay, a multi-year collaboration with the Digital Currency Initiative, right? The Digital Currency Initiative, um, which is right here. Let me pull it up. This is the Digital Currency Initiative, right? CBDC. They're looking with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to see what's up with, with CBDCs. They've been researching since 2015, or, or sorry, the Bank of England raised the concept of a CBDC in 2015. This is the whole plan with crypto, is to introduce CBDCs. Look, Hedera Hashgraph, the EmTech, EmTech initiative, Project New Dawn. Okay, this is Project New Dawn. This is Project New Dawn, right? Connected with EmTech. They're already building the sand dollar, right? Bank of Ghana, US Federal Reserve is with EmTech. EmTech is not a coin, so don't go try buy it. Emtech plus Hedera Hashgraph, right, plus the Federal Reserve. If we look at the Project New Dawn website, right, Project New Dawn website, you scroll down, Emtech, Microsoft, Hedera Hashgraph. The Microsoft is a little bit BS, right? It's not that crazy, uh, because the way they incorporated it. But if we look Project New Dawn is urging the Federal Reserve and congressional leaders to consider making cash digital for everybody. Okay, and this is mentioned multiple times. They're working directly with Hedera Hashgraph. As you can see, technical collaborators Hedera. I've, I've been meaning to read through this. It's only 30 pages, so I'm going to read through this entire thing, right? But I did notice that there is a connection here to Hedera Hashgraph and the Federal Reserve. right? In this too, they, they say they're looking for the highest security. Well, guess what? Hashgraph is the highest security on the market right now, right? And you, they could build it with the consensus service and that's it, right? I don't know how it would affect the price, but it would dang sure be a credible thing happening right now. The last thing, I've never seen anybody cover this, uh, yet, but this was released yesterday. Multi-CBDC prototype shows potential for reducing costs and speeding up cross-border payments. So first of all, in the graphic, I see an X being used as a bridge, right? I see an X being used as a bridge currency, but they're, they're doing this mBridge product or mBridge project and mCBDCs. So what does that remind you of? MCBDCs. Oh, that shit reminds me of, um, MDAPS on Quant, right? Are we not tracking here? Look, um, this is MDAPS. Quant has MDAPS. Why did they name it this, right? It's the same thing as this. Quant had MDAPS way before the Bank of International Settlements. But the BIS just came out and said they're talking about a prototype of MCBDCs, and they're doing it with 4 central banks, which is, um, the— hold on, I think it was the Bank of Canada here, Enbridge, Hong Kong Center, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Bank of Thailand, People's Bank of China, and the Bank of United Arab Emirates, right? So If you actually look into this though and download the PDF, you'll see that the only crypto mentioned in here is actually Ethereum, right? Look at this, Ethereum. They're, they're building on open source enterprise Ethereum. That's the only one mentioned. Crazy stuff, right? Crazy stuff. There is no mention of Ripple, right? There's no mention of XRP, nothing. It's really weird. It's really weird. And I will keep you up to date on all of this. More info is going to be in the next video, of course. But that is all we've got for today.
